PM2.5 Associated With Gray Matter Atrophy Reflecting Increased Alzheimer Risk in Older Women

This longitudinal study analyzed data from 1,365 community-dwelling women aged 70–89 years to investigate the impact of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure on brain structure. Utilizing MRI scans taken in 2005–2006 and again in 2010–2011, researchers employed AD pattern similarity (AD-PS) scores to assess gray matter atrophy in regions vulnerable
